The Galaxy Book 2 Go features a 14-inch FullHD IPS display. The hinge mechanism allows the top cover to be opened 180°. We note the presence of a large trackpad, as well as a webcam, the characteristics of which were not announced. The novelty is made in a case with a thickness of 15.5 mm, and its weight is 1.44 kg.
The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3 chip with eight Kryo cores. The platform delivers 40% more CPU performance and 35% more GPU power than the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 predecessor used in the original Galaxy Book Go. The new processor also provides support for a number of other features, including Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
The configuration is complemented by LPDDR4X-3200 RAM and NVMe SSD. Note that the Snapdragon 7c + Gen 3 chip supports fifth generation (5G) communications networks, but this feature is not implemented in the Galaxy Book 2 Go. Samsung will likely release a 5G version of the laptop later this year.
At this stage, Samsung has not announced in what configurations the new laptop will be available and at what price it will be available. The manufacturer intends to start selling the device in France on January 20. The timing of the appearance of the Galaxy Book 2 Go in other countries is still unknown.
